Wait, are we talking about color picker which is a tool for picking colors from images or a color selector dialog when you tell GIMP what color to use for foreground and/or background? If it's color picker, you can choose the Pixel option in the drop-down list that's in the top right corner of the canvas. In that case, channel values will be displayed in whatever pixel format your image is in: 8-bit int, 16-bit int/float, or 32-bit int/float. If it's color selection dialog (e.g. what you get when you double-click on the foreground color in the toolbox), then your only option to get better precision right now is to switch from 0.255 to 0..100 at the top of the dialog. That will yield a 0..100 range with one decimal. Not nearly as precise as a full 16-bit int range, I know.

Re: [Gimp-user] High precision color picker
In Gimp the color selector can be use with a 0-255 integer range or as percent (3 digits: 12.3%) that give a bit more precision. In scripts there is not limit to the precision of the color you enter as floating point (but widgets that will display the values will round it). For instance in Python: import gimpcolor pdb.gimp_context_set_foreground(gimpcolor.RGB(.51256,.51257,.51258)) Of course this is only useful in high-precision image, and there is no guarantee that the underlying computations use all the precision, but also no good reason to not do so.

Hello. I am trying to create technical test patterns, so I would like to specify colors by entering 16-bit RGB values. Is this possible in Gimp?
